Language in Mount Isa
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 80.4% of people in Mount Isa. While the number of residents speaking other languages has risen to 9.8% since 2011, this is still far below the national figure.

English and the largest community languages.
Only 9.8% of people use a language other than English at home, which is well below the Queensland average. This is consistent with the fact that very few residents, just 0.7%, speak little or no English.
